is it me

or is shipping from alot of these detailing supply companies kinda high?
i was just about to order a PakShack microfiber to try it out, and i go to check out and the shipping is twice what the towel cost. is there anyway to get this stuff without paying that much for shipping? idk maybe its just me

most shipping costs have increased by double digits, some air freight costs have gone up over 30%. Google it, get sick.

Best thing to do is buy more stuff, that way the shipping sounds a little more worth it, even with the minimal add on. Buying online isn't so cheap anymore.

I agree with you, that's why I just try and wait till I get a fairly big order. I've been wanting to try the PakShak towels for a while too (I was gonna order like 3) but the shipping was a little high. Not really PakShak's fault, they just have to cover there own self i guess.

Simple really. Try the Awesome towel from specialtymotoring.com. You'll like it just as much, and won't have to pay the crazy high shipping.

I've never tried the "Awesome Towel" but the Pak Shak towels are worth the price. They are by far the best thing I've ever used. I'm very impressed with them.

Thump, Have you ever used the DF Towel? I'm debating on Pak Shak, Specialty Motoring towels, or the DF Towels

Pak's are worth it -- Ranney sells a fantastic product.

Another towel that I've found as of late is a towel from www.obsessivedetail.com called teh Fly Towel. It's excellent and is pretty fairly priced, IMO.

The DFT, in my opinion, still trumps just about any towel on the market...

I was looking at those yesterday as I start my long replacement process. I will have to give them a try.

I would second that

No I have not. It's going to be my next towel to try out. As of recently, with my new hobby, I haven't been buying any new detailing supplies. Only replacing old products when they are diminished. I've been able to start doing a lot more vehicles, thankfully.
